Chapter 385 Yes or No
Liang Minglang, who was caught in his words, was speechless and said angrily, "So what if it's not early in the morning? Master Ji is so angry."
Ji Yingxuan choked, feeling that there was no need to waste time talking to him, "Where is Madam Xu?"
After a while, the servant Liu Ru came out and greeted the two men with a smile: "Master, Master Ji, Madam wants you to have breakfast."
Ji Yingxuan's face looked better now. He quickly agreed and walked straight in without paying any attention to Liang Minglang.
Liang Minglang smiled generously and didn't bother with him.
Xu Zhichun smiled and asked them to sit down.
"Last night I asked the kitchen to prepare four kinds of stuffing: steamed buns with three fresh ingredients, pork and green onions, bamboo shoots, mushrooms and pork, and shredded radish and pork lard. I also prepared red date and glutinous rice porridge, millet porridge, white porridge, and a few side dishes such as dried radish, kohlrabi, and kimchi. Master Ji, please take a look and see if they suit your taste. Just tell me what you like to eat, and we will prepare whatever we can afford."
Xu Zhichun will always feel a little guilty, but there is not much she can do.
Ji Yingxuan was happy that she always thought of him, but at the same time he felt that she was too polite and distant to him. The two completely different feelings blended and wrestled with each other in his heart, and he felt sour and sad.
"Mrs. Xu Xu, you don't have to be so polite to me. I can do anything. Everything is fine."
"That's good."
Ji Yingxuan was in a state of confusion. No matter how delicious the food was, it tasted like chewing wax. However, Xu Zhichun was so thoughtful and had just treated him so attentively. If he showed that he had no appetite, it would be a shame to her kindness.
How could Ji Yingxuan do something to let Xu Zhichun down?
He forced himself to eat.
Until his chopsticks accidentally picked up some pickled cowpeas, and a sour and spicy taste suddenly rushed into his mouth, so strong that he almost choked. Even Ji Yingxuan, who usually had a refined and gentle demeanor, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Seeing this, Xu Zhichun hurriedly said, "Master Ji, please drink a few mouthfuls of porridge to calm down. Sister Liuru, please pour him a cup of tea."
Ji Yingxuan quickly drank two mouthfuls of millet porridge, and then he felt a little better.
Liang Minglang ate some white radish kimchi and mocked Ji Yingxuan, "Master Ji, it seems you can't handle spicy food? You're truly deprived of your taste buds. Do you know what this is called? It's called kimchi. No one else can make it except Zhichun. Zhichun taught the servants at the farm, and they learned how to make it. In Liangjia Village, many families now make a jar of kimchi to eat with rice. Zhichun taught them all."
Ji Yingxuan was stunned. Is Zhichun the only one who can do this? But why didn't he know about it?
Xu Zhichun took advantage of the moment when Ji Yingxuan wasn't paying attention and glared at Liang Minglang, warning him that it was enough!
Ji Yingxuan took another piece of kimchi with chopsticks and tasted it. It was still so spicy that it felt like an explosion in his mouth, but at least he was mentally prepared and it didn't feel as uncomfortable as before.
He took two sips and smiled, "Really? So this was invented by Madam Xu? I wonder if Madam Xu could teach me too?"
Xu Zhichun openly glared at the talkative Liang Minglang and smiled at Ji Yingxuan, "It's actually not that difficult. Just wash the jar thoroughly without a speck of oil on it. Put the washed radish cubes, cowpeas, and other vegetables in it, and add clean spring water to soak the vegetables. Add the appropriate amount of salt, some Sichuan peppercorns, and red chili peppers. If you like spicy food, add more chili, if not, less. If you have rice vinegar or bayberry fruit, you can add a little, but if not, it doesn't matter. Seal the jar tightly, and after three to five days, take it out of the jar and cut it into small pieces when you want to eat it."
"Oh, if you like it sweet, you can add some sugar to the jar, but don't add too much."
Honey and brown sugar are both fine, but rock sugar is actually the best.
Of course, there is no rock sugar in this era.
Therefore, the only kimchi that tastes like rock sugar is the one she makes at home.
Ji Yingxuan looked at Xu Zhichun gently, and used all his strength to control himself from showing any longing and passionate eyes so as not to make her feel uncomfortable. He didn't need to hide his ears, he listened attentively with great concentration.
This smiling face, this voice, it's clearly Zhichun
After Xu Zhichun finished speaking, Ji Yingxuan was still a little dazed.
He chuckled lightly: "Why did Madam Xu suddenly think of doing this?"
Xu Zhichun smiled and said, "I got this idea from the pickled cabbage I make at home, and then I improved it a bit."
Ji Yingxuan nodded slightly. So, it's reasonable, well-founded, and has a source. There's nothing wrong with that, right? Zhichun is so smart, it's normal for something to trigger her and make her think of something else.
Liang Minglang glanced at him.
After breakfast, Xu Zhichun went to take a look at the orchard and the chicken farm in the orchard.
As usual, he gave detailed instructions one by one, pointed out many shortcomings of the servants, suggested many improvements, and gave many instructions.
Everyone admired her and tried to memorize everything attentively.
Their wife is so knowledgeable and talented.
At the beginning, they actually disagreed with and did not understand the various instructions and exhortations given by their wife. Some of the instructions even sounded incredible and ridiculous.
But the wife was the boss, and she was the type who kept her word and had a firm attitude. Even if they didn't agree with her explanation or found it ridiculous, she would still complain in her heart and laugh at them behind their backs, but she would still do everything seriously and not dare to be perfunctory at all.

Time proves everything.
Madam is right.
Following my wife's instructions, everything went smoothly, better than I could have imagined.
Everyone was convinced.
Now, whatever the madam tells us, everyone remembers it in their hearts and dares not miss a single word.
These are all hard-earned and precious tips and tricks!
If you go to other places, you may not be able to learn it even if you spend money.
But the lady told them everything without reservation.
Ji Yingxuan listened and watched from the side, and felt helpless again.
Liang Minglang is different from him. Liang Minglang's eyes are full of admiration and pride, as if "such a great lady is my wife!"
Ji Yingxuan understood and rolled his eyes at him in displeasure, feeling contempt and complaining in his heart: Zhichun is working so hard, and instead of trying to help share the burden, he just stands there and watches. Zhichun must be blind to marry him.
No, Zhichun didn't marry him!
Ji Yingxuan wanted to slap himself.
After staying at the farm for another two days, Xu Zhichun and Liang Minglang took Chunfen home, and Ji Yingxuan followed.
When they returned home, Nanny Qin Qing and Muxiang happily welcomed the two masters into the house. They were stunned to see the strange man, and when they heard the master say that this was the distinguished guest, Young Master Ji, they treated him as the master's guests and entertained him warmly.
